SQUAD ASSIGNMENTS:  Children are assigned to squads based on their demographics such as age/grade, their physical address and any special requests they may have.  NOTE:  Every effort will be made to honor all special requests, however, they are not guaranteed*.

COACHES MEETING:   Your child’s Coach will have a meeting for parents and cheerleaders in mid to late August, AFTER the Cheer Camp.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ATTEND YOUR COACHES MEETING.  At this meeting, your Cheer Coach will discuss the requirements of the program, practice schedules and what is expected of your cheerleader and you during the season.   Please cooperate and offer your help to your child’s Coach.  This program is successful because of her/his unselfish contributions!

  • PRACTICE:  Cheer practice will begin during the mid to last weeks of August.  Squads will practice 2-3 times per week (depending on the age group), and the time and place of practice will be determined by the Coach.  Additional practices will be required - and are mandatory -  to prepare for special events throughout the cheer season. 
  • GAMES:  Your child will be cheering for a CYA Football Team.  Squads are assigned to teams after the Football draft has been completed.  The season runs from August through November depending on how well your football team performs.  Games are usually on Saturday’s at various times and fields.  There have been games, however, that have fallen on a week-night or Sunday.  A schedule will be provided as soon as possible (after Labor Day) from Fairfax County.  CYA does not prepare the game schedules;  therefore, please be patient in waiting for this information.   NOTE:  All Cheerleaders MUST attend practices and games.  Chronic absence, lack of participation and/or tardiness at practices and/or games will result in the Cheerleader not being eligible for performances.

  • REGISTRATION FEES:  The fee for the 2008 Fall Cheer Season (August - end November, 2007) is $175 and includes the following:

    1. Rental of CYA cheer uniform* (skirt and vest ~ brand new in 2006!)
